Buck Showalter, manager of the Orioles, and Nationals manager Dave Martinez each sported Capitals jerseys before their teams played in Baltimore, and ahead of Game 1 of the Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights, on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVAS, SN).

Showalter and Martinez have each publicly shown their support for the Capitals in their run to the Cup Final. Showalter, who wore a personalized Capitals jersey from the 2018 Coors Light NHL Stadium series Monday, had previously donned a Capitals hat while the Orioles were in Florida playing the Tampa Bay Rays during Washington's Eastern Conference Final series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Martinez first donned a Capitals hat before their Stanley Cup Playoff opener last month, and has been wearing a personalized Washington jersey for his pregame press availability on Capitals game days since May 1. Martinez predicted a 4-1 Capitals victory in Game 7 of the conference final against the Lightning, which wasn't far off Washington's 4-0 win.
